Mechanical Installation
Note: Steel tubes are not recommended for the substructure, as metal
filings can accumulate on the magnets and cause module flatness
issues.
Power/Signal Input Identification & Routing
1. Identify which panels will require power and/or signal inputs. Refer to
the contract-specific Shop and Riser Drawings for details.
2. Route power/signal inputs around the structure prior to panel
installation. Use the designed gaps between the substructures and at
the top and bottom of the display to run the cables horizontally across
the display. Refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5.
